Nasty Snatch

I had never done Snatch lifting before. So today I practiced form and worked on just getting the bar up overhead. It was ugly, and now can't imagine having weight on the bar, it is definitely a skill. I plan on buying a couple videos and books, specifically "Olympic Weightlifting: A Complete Guide for Athletes & Coaches" by Greg Everett and "Olympic Weightlifting Seminar DVD" by Greg Everett. Today I'm really sore, a little slow moving around. I'm finally getting used to this intermittent fasting gig, I feel hungry but I don't get light headed or feel that I HAVE to eat. Today's workout was a little lighter, but I did sub OH squats for the power snatch unfortunately.

OH squat 60% x 2 x 3 = 85lb,95,95
Power Clean/jerk 60% x 2 x 3 = 100
Pull ups 3xmax = 15/16/21

YES! I know this is weak, but this is why I'm starting this training program, as my technique and strength improve so will the weights, give me a chance!

If you haven't read "Good Calories Bad Calories" by Gary Taubes you should! I am currently reading it now and recommend it to anyone that want to learn more about why Americans have an obesity problem. How politics played a major role in American's diets, and gives more of a scientific insight as too why you dont get fat from eating fat. Give it a try!
